Hi everybody
I just received my second hand Avalon a25
Just a bit curious about year of fabrication
The label marks L-000391
It's cedar-indian rosewood, bridge probably cocobolo.
Bought it for 850Â£
Think it's a deal
Here's a pic

Very good overall condition

Happy tunings everybody

ciao alexios. wow what a beautiful guitar I can't believe my eyes, and yes I think you got a real deal. Don't ever sell this guitar alexios, I'm thinking very soon after many hours of playing this guitar will become part of you.

hi everybody, and thanks for answering
JB Got a couple of questions
What would be the price of this model, I mean brand new?
I changed strings, putting d'addario EXP16 light and I noticed something that, as a luthier ,I never saw before.The bridge pins have a hole(see pic)

what are they made for?Maybe to tie the strings more securely?
Thanks and cheers everybody

Lucky you! I just got a used one as well, in mint condition. I paid around 1200 euros. It is a very special guitar, with a very special sound. I'm already saving for a premier...

A new A25 would be Â£2250 GBP.

A few years ago we used that type of straight ebony pin with locking hole for the strings, we've since changed to the more standard tapered ebony pin.
